Hi !
Systems :
Compaq Deskpro 4000 5166 (Pentium 166)
Compaq Deskpro 4000 5200 (Pentium 200 MMX)
Compaq Deskpro 2100 5200 (Pentium 200 MMX)
Question
When you remove the primary HDD.
Reboot.
Install a primary HDD.
The BIOS on these machines issue a warning following the HDD detection.
"If you are running Unix, you need to configure your system
using the COMPAQ User diagnostics diskette"
I downloaded the user diagnostic and setup diskettes from
www.hp.com filename: SP8126.exe (English).
Created the diskette images, ran the utilities.
BUT THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANYTHING TO Enable/Disable
for Unix installations !!!!
ie surfed the www and Compaq's www documents make the same
warning statement.
Apart from not creating a diagnostic partition using setup,
and erasing the HDD before installing Linux, FreeBSD, etc
does anyone know what this warning is all about ???
Regards
Chris
